REGULAR AGENDA

500. Finance Department
Review Of Trusco Capital Management Financial Statements.
Ms. Molly A. Halcom, Investment Officer, Trusco Capital Management, 300 South
Orange Avenue, Suite 1600, Orlando, Florida: introduced herself as the new
Representative for the City of Winter Springs and then summarized the performance of
the City's Portfolio over the last quarter.
Chairman Nippes stated, "Last Meeting, we hit the magic number of ten million
($10,000,000.00) and I asked about if the fees go down at that magic number. Someone was
going to check on that." Ms. Halcom stated, "Yes, I remember." Ms. Halcom continued, "I will
make a note of that." Ms. Halcom said, "We won't wait until next quarter to get that to you."
Chairman Nippes asked if there were any recommendations. Ms. Halcom stated, "We are still
recommending an overweight position in 'Equities'. I think it is going to be a difficult market in
that we are going to start to see on the equity side more of the higher quality names start to shine
through. Which is kind of a change from what we have been seeing. And, I think that is going to
help your Portfolio just by the names that these funds are investing in."
Mr. Ronald W. McLemore, City Manager, stated, "Why are we not maxlmlzmg out our
International?" Ms. Halcom stated, "We can go heavier in International. I think we might have
discussed this last time. Because we have the capability to go to - it is five to twenty percent (5-
20%). That is a pretty hefty overweight position in International. I would say most
Municipalities that we see don't - typically go much higher than ten percent (10%)." Ms.
Halcom said, "I think that the twelve percent (12%) position is appropriate. And, that is by
looking at other Municipalities and how we typically see an overweight position in
International. "
Furthermore, Ms. Halcom stated, "I will take - back and discuss that with our Policy Group."
Chairman Nippes stated, "I don't know if I would go to twenty percent (20%), but I would
probably - fifteen (15) [percent]." Board Member Tim Pesut stated, "Under eighteen (18)
[percent]." Mr. McLemore stated, "Short Term is better." Ms. Halcom stated, "Okay."
Board Member Vincent Giannoni stated, "I agree with the Board. It is a good opportunity now.
Let's take advantage of that."
